In a small, worn-out wooden house on the edge of a quiet village lives an elderly father with his only son. His name is Makmur, a 65-year-old man whose back is now bent and steps are slow, but his hands never stop working. Every day, he weaves discarded plastic strips into simple bags, mats, and baskets. Not because he enjoys it, but because he must. Because there is one reason he cannot stop — his son, Ginanjar.
Ginanjar is 19 years old, but his body never developed as it should. Since birth, he has suffered from total cerebral palsy. He cannot speak, sit, or stand, and he cannot move his own body without help.
Every day, Makmur does everything alone: feeding, bathing, changing, and caring for his son from morning until night. Even when his back aches and his hands tremble, he never complains. His love keeps him going.
But age is catching up. His eyesight is fading, and his strength is no longer the same. Their home has no medical bed, no wheelchair, and no proper ventilation. They sleep on a thin mat on the floor. Sometimes, when his handmade crafts do not sell, Makmur skips his own meals just so his son will not go hungry.
When Ginanjar gets sick, Makmur can only rely on simple remedies and prayers. For 19 years, no one else has ever cared for Ginanjar. He refuses to leave his son in an institution, saying softly, “I brought him into this world. I’ll be the one to care for him until the end.”
Now, with his health declining, Makmur worries deeply about the future. Who will take care of Ginanjar when I’m gone?
